Peter Doig

Peter Doig, a Scottish artist, is one of the most renowned living figurative painters and his presence at the Kunsträume Zermatt honours us greatly.

He is a mountain sports man and ski lover and in the early 90’s created a series of winter images, mostly based on Canada.

30 years later we see the second period on the winter theme, based in and around Zermatt.

Through his love of this alpine village and his friendship to the swiss artist Heinz Julen he stayed in Zermatt over six weeks in 2020 and again for four months in 2021 where he was inspired and created the works which we proudly present today in our gallery “Kunsträume Zermatt”

As well as creating the works that we exhibit here, Peter Doig also collaborated with the French fashion house Dior, showcasing a winter skiwear collection, which is available on dior.com and which we present here as an art installation
